rev up your engines, dark blood mon, hey Scotty I got a 2014
RAM I hear a light whirring sound that sounds like chains dragging softly when
I'm accelerating, you hear a chain type noise it's almost always internal to the
transmission on those things, go to a good mechanic like me who really knows
and works on the transmissions all the time, but don't just go to a transmission shop
because if you do that, they always sell you a transmission that's how they make
money, go to a regular mechanic that understands Chrysler's and has a deal level
scan tool, let them road test it, they say it's the transmission then you got to
decide, do I want to get rid of this stupid thing, or do I wanna put a whole
bunch of money into having a transmission done over, the most notorious
problem with those things is the transmission and they will make that kind
of chain nose and that means it's starting to go out, if it's the deal that
it's quiet once it's warmed, hey my advice would be get rid of the stupid
thing, and get yourself a better truck like a Ford or a Toyota and don't even
mess with the Rams anymore, they got so many problems as they age it's just
typical, sd 64 says Scotty I got a 2013 bmw x5, I bought last September with 95
thousand miles, now it has a hundred thousand five hundred miles, I bought it
with 48 months extended warranty, I already used to change the front tension
bars, the sway bars, the door lock actuator, a leaking differential
should I keep it or get rid of it, as long as it keeps covering I would say
keep the stupid thing, if they keep covering what goes wrong with it, those are
endless money pits there's no arguing that, if they keep covering it go right
ahead, cuz if the transmission goes out and
they go out all the time in those things when they have a hundred thousand miles
they're gonna have to fix the stupid thing, just realize that they have no
resale value, so you're not gonna get anything when you're sell it, and I hope
you didn't pay too much for it in the first place
but since you got that warranty go right ahead because if you try selling it now
I mean a seven-year old BMW goes to nothing, everybody knows they're not
worth anything, so just I just say keep it as long as it goes and the warranty
pays for it, when a warranty stops paying for it then get rid of the stupid thing
rarely will I tell somebody to keep a BMW but what the heck, if that policy
keeps paying go right ahead, Grayson 85, I have a 2017 PT Cruiser, I
just changed the spark plugs but it still won't start
what could be wrong, there's a whole bunch of reasons cars can't start, I got
a video fixing a car that cranks but doesn't
start, watch that that explains it, but a real
simple test for most cars is if it didn't start before you did the spark plugs, you
put in spark plugs it's still not starting, take the air filter out, get a can of
spray starting fluid ,starting fluid costs like dollar ninety-nine, used to be
about fifty nine cents but now it's 1.99, when somebody's cranking the engine
spray a little starting fluid in there, if it
starts and dies odds are you need a fuel pump, I mean it still could be a bunch of
other things but that's the most common thing that you'll see go wrong with it,
spray in this fluid if it starts and dies you're not getting any fuel, then at
least check the fuel pump pressure and if you crank it and there's none, it's time
for a new fuel pump, fox brain I got a Mercedes SLK 230, the radiator fan
only turns on when the AC is on the car overheats of it's off, realize that
even though you got the radiator fans on the radiator, there's two separate
systems that run them, when you turn the AC on, automatically it will start turning
on your cooling fans, because the cooling
fans that cool the radiator also cool the air conditioning condenser that's in
front of the radiator for the AC, so yours is only working then, that means
that systems working, then there's another system that has the coolant
temperature sensor for the electric fans, that system has a sensor that it tells
the computer how hot the water is getting, and when the water gets beyond a
certain temperature it tells the computer turn the fan on, now you got a
Mercedes and it's got a multi-level fan system, computers that run the fans it's
extremely over-engineered, and that system is now broken, you want to
pray that's the temperature sensor and it's just that, I'd say try that and hope
it fixes it, cuz if it doesn't you're gonna have to go to a mercedes-benz
expert, their going to have to do a bunch of
analysis, I've even seen it where the computer modules go bad, they have to be
replaced and reprogrammed it cost a fortune, they are way over engineered
vehicles, mr. busy and mr. busy said hey Scotty what's the best scan tool for the
above average mechanic that's not a professional, there's so many scan tools
out there it depends on what you want to spend, you want to spend around 200 bucks
or so, I'm really happy with my Actron go to Amazon and look at the Actrons
that are around 200 bucks, they can do an awful lot, it depends on what kind of a car
have too see, like there's one out there that's really good for BMWs but it
doesn't work that great for the other cars, so you need to do a little research
for what cars you're working on sometimes you're even better off buying
one of those services where you use your laptop and you get to access the
information for that car on your laptop so you're not buying a machine you already
own the laptop or even your phone, and you might check out like that the
blue driver, blue driver uses your phone but some pretty good software and it's
$99, so you might check that one out, you gotta decide how far you want to go and
how much you want to pay, because once you go over the $200 one, then you don't
get much until you're spending 800 to a thousand, and then pass that it's five to
ten thousand, so you decide how much you want to spend, there's a real
level the drop-off of how much you get more for how much you pay if you're not
a mechanic and not working on a bunch of different cars,
so if you never want to miss another one of my new car i repair videos, remember
to ring that Bell!
